The OpenStreetMap project
collects an amazing amount of geodata and makes it available to the world for
free. But the raw OpenStreetMap data is hard to use. On this web site you'll
find some of that data pre-processed and formatted for easier use.

Pre-processing includes removing or fixing of wrong data and assembling of
different parts of the data into a usable whole. The data is formatted into Shapefiles for easy use in the usual GIS
applications.
